Context
Made during Kent’s stay on Monhegan in the winter of 1906-07, it shows snow-covered fields and a thick stand of trees with one of the island’s mountains in the distance and a glimpse of the sea beyond. Its blue-tinged shadows on the white snow and stormy gray skies, freely and expressively painted, reveal the attraction the scenic island held for Kent and other Henri Circle artists.
